Wtlbnr Methodist Church Congregation Hears of Arrival' and Plans Lunch eon in Honor of w Pastor. The Rev.

And then about SO of the meniDei-s of the Wilbur Congregation returned the compliment and surprised me pastor by planning a luncheon in his honor. The affair was impromptu, being ar ranged by telephone for noon in the gold room of the Multnomah Hotel, where a delightful menu was served, and where Dr. Short- greeted his church folk informally. Probably early in July a large reception will be held in the Multnomah for the minister and his family. It is expected that Dr. and Mrs. Short and their two sons will be here about July 1. Dr. W. W.

CHANGE EFFECTIVE MONDAY Reduction Is Made Possible by Re arrangement of Deliveries, ione System Adopted for Supplying Consumers. Ice prices are to be reduced in Port land 10 cents a hundred. The reductions are to take effect next Monday. They come as the result of efforts of the Food Administration and are made possible by rearrange ment of delivery methods according to a zone system. Announcement of the price cut agreed upon was made yesterday by Assistant Food Administrator Frank M. Warren after a final conference with ice manu facturers and dealers. Mr. Warren's announcement follows: "The Food Administration at Wash ington has advised all state admints- HOME OP JEWISH CONGREGATION THAT WILL OBSERVE 60TH ANNIVERSARY FRIDAY AND ITS PRESENT LEADER. . imT r nn r r -i nrnr nrn-r-fc AReadyToServe 1 FOOD I j Saves Cooking J Ho Waste i Ho Sussar Required I -lh t W7 te J ' 1 Jr t r i M M if ! v i i t 3i f af . , ' I trators to take such rational measures as are possible in order that the price of Ice to the domestic consumer shall not be advanced over last year's basis. "The only feasible way to secure a reduction from the present price of 80 cents per hundred pounds to 70 cents was by curtailment of deliveries and cutting out the abuse of duplication. The city has therefore been divided into sones and on certain specified days each of these zones will be served with ice, all Ice companies delivering in certain zones on specified days. "Under this plan each zone will be served with ice on three days of the week. " Householders will be notified before the end of the week by their ice deafc?rs as to what zone they are in and on what days they may have ice delivered. "Some zones will be served on Mon days, Wednesdays and Fridays, while others will be served on Tuesdays. Thursdays and Saturdays. This may cause a little temporary inconvenience, but it is only an occasional consumer who wants a delivery of ice every day, the great majority filling their ice boxes only once or twice a week or three times at the most. The only change that will be necessary will be the adjustment of the householder's requirements to the days that deliveries are made to his or her zone. "With this change the price will be at the rate of 70 cents per hundred pounds in all zones except Portland Heights, which will have a rate of 75 cents per hundred, instead of 80 and 85 cents as at present. "The question of weights and meas ures is covered by a city ordinance, and any complaints regarding this should be made to the city officials. "The new prices and system of deliv ery will go into effect on Monday. June 17." Complaint Is paid to have arisen again this season because the Ice com panies Bell only by means or coupon books and require cash payment in advance. This matter was taken up a year ago by city officials and threshed out at that time, and the practice now in vogue was then authorized by the municipal authorities. The ice companies have shown that they effect great saving through the coupon book alfs method. In the first place, It makes it Impossible for drivers to make small cash sales and nocket the money. More Important Is tha,- saving -through the lessening of bookkeeping. By limiting credit to families of standing which pay house hold bills promptly the companies elim inate losses on delivered Ice, say the officials. EDMUND C.
